Here are three preliminary designs for the poster, however they may well change depending on the final decision on the name of the film, the first design features a title and strap line whereas the second does not. These images have a similar feel but have slight variations. All were assembled in paint.net, paint and Microsoft word. During the filming process i used my phone to photograph the set and props with a poster in mind, so using these i was able to create a poster design by first identifying the elements i wanted, for instance the bed and isolating them, deleting the surrounding picture.To create the framed picture i obtained a copyright free photo frame image from the internet, i then removed the image from it's center, layered the picture behind it and lined them up. Then once i had the components i used effect processing to stylize the image, and then it became a case of creating a suitable mix out of the images.
Design 1: This design features the title "was" in the style of a seven segment display, however the "w" does violate this style i decided it made a more visually satisfying result than compromising to fit the seven segment style. I had planned initially for the title to be a clock face with bright red letters on a black backdrop, however this was too conflicting.
Design 2: The main difference with design 1 is the placement of the photo, by turning the picture on an angle, reducing the pictures height to create the impression that it is lying down and by placing a bulge effect on the frame gives it a curved edge. The photo is the only part of the picture in focus deliberately to create a contrast.
Design 3: Of all three this is the most stylized, i created it as a minimalist alternative to the other two.
I plan to create a survey for the film title and poster in the very near future.
